Thanks for contacting HCM. dear patient Your doctor has prescribed selenious yeast tablets so as to provide you with selenium supplement, which is needed for proper thyroid function and for immunity. It will not affect your toe and finger nails yeast infection. But remember that all selenium supplements are meant to be taken for short to medium term as long term use can cause harm. regards
